ing out ‘what’s your mar-ket, what’s the genre that this clientele is interested in seeing?’” Elsasser said. “And then it’s ‘can you sell it?”
To assist in event plan-ning, the University works with national venue-man-agement company, Global Spectrum, as well as an events committee consist-ing of Stroh staff, student government and commu-nity members, among oth-ers. The group meets once monthly to brainstorm ideas and offer suggestions.
Sitting on the committee is Emily Ancinec, president of Undergraduate Student Government. In response to questions provided by email, Ancinec wrote that factors the committee considers when propos-ing events include time of year, style of event and the event’s target audience.
“I feel that the Stroh Center has the potential to have great programs,” she wrote. “We have not neces-sarily used that potential to the fullest.”
Elsasser said the Athletics Department would like to increase the number of what he called “no-risk events” the Stroh Center hosts, such as the Harlem Globetrotters game and NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament. Under these events the Stroh is rented to outside parties that incur all costs associated with hosting the event; revenues for the University come in through not only the rental fee, but also vending, parking and commissions on merchan-dise sales. The NCAA tour-nament alone brought in $40,000 in profits.
“Those are the events we are trying to find,” Elsasser said. “Those are the events that will make the building successful.”
Elsasser said the real value of these events,
though, is the qualitative externalities of the expo-sure.
“You can’t put a value on the marketing portion of that, and I think that’s some-times what people forget,” he said. “The Stroh Center’s name really came to light when the three games that were on there said, ‘Hey this is ESPN, we’re at the Stroh Center.’ What’s the value of that when a million people are watching?”
Financial compari-sons between the Stroh Center and its predecessor, Anderson Arena, Elsasser said, are difficult because Anderson’s finances were absorbed into the general University budget and were not handled directly by the Athletics Department, as is the case with the Stroh. Some of the events Stroh has hosted so far, though, according to Christopher, were possible only because of the Stroh. Anderson’s fail-ure to meet modern codes and logistical consider-ations of handling events of a magnitude like the NCAA tournament, would bar the University from being con-sidered as host.
“Those games would never have come to Bowling Green if it wasn’t for a facil-ity like the Stroh Center,” Christopher said. “What we said even before we built the Stroh Center, and it has played out, is that now that we have the Stroh Center, a more modern facility, we have access to a lot more as far as programming options,”
Perhaps as important as the broadened options the Stroh has made available, Christopher said, is the enhanced experience the facility offers fans.
“I think the fan experi-ence has definitely been more positive,” he said. “As a general statement I would say our fans have been more positively influenced by moving into the Stroh Center than even our stu-dent athletes and coaches.”

Distorted guitar sounds from one popular cul-ture instructor were the last thing to be heard and seen at the end of the inaugural Dr. Ray Browne Conference in the Union this weekend. Matthew Donahue per-formed a 30 minute setlist with his band Mad 45 after giving a lecture on the importance of the Fender Guitar in popular culture.
“The rock and roll instrumental is really a lost art these days, so I guess you could say that I am trying to bring a reminder of what that is in a contemporary way,” Donahue said. “I really enjoy performing in a conference atmosphere as it allows for more focus on the music and what is being played.”
The conference was meant to honor Dr. Ray Browne, who founded the Department of Popular Culture in the early 1970’s and passed away in 2009, said Brian Kelien, co-chair of the Popular Culture Scholars Association and host of the conference.
“We wanted to orga-nize a conference to honor him and just talk about the study of pop culture, and that’s how it got started,” Kelien said.
“This year we thought we would hold a conference and talk about how the department has evolved in the last few decades.”
The t heme of t he con ference, “Popu la r Culture in the 21st cen-tur y,” included ma ny panels that showcased the evolution of popular culture throughout the past 40 years with topics on comic books, movies, science f ict ion, mascu-linity, video games and many more.
As part of his perfor-mance, Donahue show-cased acoustic and elec-tric guitars.
Donahue is an alum-nus of the University and graduated from the American Culture Studies program with a masters and doctorate. He has been playing in and out of bands in the Northwest Ohio area for more than 30 years.
My c W i a t r ow s k i , graduate chair of the Popular Culture Scholar Associat ion, sa id he hopes people don’t assume popular cul-ture is an unimportant study. It’s the study of our everyday lives, and that is extremely important, Wiatrowski said.
“By focusing on some-thing simple, such as the guitar, that has signifi-cance in the musical world
but we intend to ignore in our everyday lives even though its sound and its image is prevalent, people can understand that its super important culturally speaking and super important musical-ly speaking,” Wiatrowski said. “That’s why we inte-grated a performance as well because the sound of the guitar is equally as important as its image and its cultural weight.”
Junior Anthony McGill attended the Guitar Stories event and said the reason he came was to support his musical instructor Matt Donahue.
“I just wanted to come because I like his teach-ing style and I like the material,” McGill said. “I knew that he’s been in a band before and I just wanted to see what his playing was like.”
With more than 40 peo-ple in attendance at the Guitar Stories event, the first annual Ray Browne Conference had come to an end as Matt Donahue strung his last chord.
“The late Dr. Ray Browne who founded the Department of Popular Culture was a teacher, mentor and a friend and someone who has been an inspiration for much of my academic and cre-ative efforts,” Donahue said.

Between Monday and Thursday, University stu-dents will choose who will represent them next year as Undergraduate Student Government president and vice president.
In past years, The BG News’ editorial board has endorsed candidates for the positions. This year, however, the board has decided not to endorse a candidate.
The board did initially come to a unanimous decision to endorse a candidate, but after further consideration, it was apparent that the board was not completely satisfied with either Alex Solis and David Neely or Tabitha Timbrook and Jon Zachrich.
Both presidential candi-dates offer distinctly different leadership styles with similar platforms. We hoped for a can-didate that successfully bal-anced a political and student representation, but we feel that neither candidate does this year. As we are concerned
with results of past presidents’ work, we only want to endorse a candidate if we strongly sup-port their views and actions.
The current candidates’ similarities and coopera-tiveness with each other throughout the campaign process make them appear as if they are not competing against each other to claim a coveted leadership role on campus. Although The BG News expected more com-petition between the candi-dates, we at least hope this cooperative attitude means the losing candidates will maintain their involvement in USG and on campus.
As a publication that advo-cates the student voice, The BG News understands the importance of expressing it throughout the University and the surrounding community. USG’s responsibility is to rep-resent students and make final decisions on their behalf.
Solis and Neely both have the experience and knowl-
edge of being a public face but don’t seem as connected to the average student. Out of respect, students might fol-low Solis, who appears to be a natural leader.
With Timbrook, students might participate or interact with USG to feel like part of a team, as Timbrook empha-sizes leading with school spirit. Timbrook and Zachrich are less like politicians and more like “regular students,” in that they seem more relatable. However, their lack of politi-cal knowledge makes them seem less dependable when it comes to controversial issues.
For the past two years, can-didates endorsed by The BG News went on to win the elec-tion. Nonetheless, the work of these presidents has not been as tangible and concrete as their platforms initially expressed. After each candi-date’s win, we were dissatisfied with their performance and lack of attention to the student voice.
By not endorsing a candi-date, the editorial board asks that you, the students, think about what type of leadership you want in a USG president and vice president. Students should strongly consider that USG needs leadership that wants to listen, make concrete decisions and implement sig-nificant changes.
Ultimately, it will be the stu-dents’ job to decide what it takes to lead USG — a typical student with drive and spirit, or someone who understands politics and is a public face.

All throughout the year, I hear people complaining about Dance Marathon. So when I heard that it was going on this weekend, I went into it thinking it was a bad thing. Honestly, the people running Dance Marathon are awesome. They’re making a difference and doing it with a smile on their faces. Give these peppy people a break!—DANCING FOR A DIFFERENCE
Ok, so whose bright idea is it to eat lunch in the sauna? I’m sitting in there working up a good sweat when all of a sudden, I hear the dude next to me tear into a sandwich between verses of his favorite motiva-tional rap tune. I just don’t get why anyone would WANT to eat in there in the first place.—SWEATY FEAST
Walking into my apartment, I see my roommate drenched in sweat, performing the Insanity workout with his shirt off. Imagine if I were to have had a girl with me! She’s not trying to see my slippery roomie rolling and stretching up a storm in our living quarters. —ROOMMATE INSANITY
Heading into the closing rounds of the NCAA tournament, four Ohio teams were in the running. Now, I’m an OSU fan, yet I was rooting for all the other Ohio teams as well. However, when Ohio State slipped up late in its Final Four performance, all the other teams’ fans ripped the Bucks apart. C’mon guys, represent Ohio. Don’t just rag on a team to get a rise out of the fans.—NO BUCKS WERE GIVEN
I hate who you are drunk. You change into a completely different per-son and it breaks my heart. One of these days you’re going to make a mistake you will regret forever and there is nothing I can do. Take it easy on the drinking and hopefully you won’t do anything stupid.—SPLIT PERSONALITY
What do you want to do before you die?
This is hardly a question one is pleasured to be asked and it’s a life-changing one that needs to be.
Last night, the group The Buried Life asked it to the crowd at Dance Marathon. People’s answers ranged from kissing one of the group members to seeing the world.
I couldn’t formulate my answer right away, but the fact so many people knew what they wanted out of life before it ended was inspiring.
Toward the end of their speech (and after a little crowd-surfing session and
a few “oh my God, touched his butt!”), The Buried Life offered a quote that went along the lines of “You’ll never be as young as you are today.”
At first, this quote made me think all the others around me resembled the Grim Reaper and death was waiting just outside the rec. Then I thought more about it and grew hopeful.
We’ll never be as young as we are today? If that fact doesn’t scream “possibil-ity,” I don’t know what does. We as college students have the distinct pleasure of not only being in our late teens to early twenties with many, many years ahead of us, but we also have many oppor-tunities to get what we want out of life.

As a child I was not a big viewer of cartoons. One I did watch though was “The Flintstones.”
While I do not remember many details of the episodes, I do remember one conversa-tion very well.
When discussing Mr. Slate, Fred’s boss, Barney said, “Well you know Fred, rich people have problems too.” Fred retorts, “Yeah Barn, but one of them isn’t money.”
How utterly profound that statement is. Think about life for those of us not born into wealth. Lack of money causes an overwhelming amount of stress in our col-
lective lives. Even for those of us who
are going to school for a bet-ter life, money is still the foremost worry.
This brings me to two top-ics. The first is the lottery. I am a dedicated lottery player.
Not just when the jack-pot is huge, like last Friday night, but also when it is only $20 million. Only $20 million I say?
Yes, some players will not play when the jackpot is that “small.” I will take that “small” every day, my friends. While I am a dedi-cated player, I am not a prob-lem gambler. I play between two and four dollars a week.
I am a problem daydream-er about the lottery though. I think of all the loved ones I could help, how my life would be instantly improved, and so on. Some say this is a
waste of time,but I think it is fine, even natural.
After all, winning the Mega Millions would not only relieve life’s stress, it would buy a whole bunch of fun too.
People might ask, “Paul you are such a liberal, such an apologist for the poor.”
“Don’t you realize that the lottery only hurts the poor?” My answer is that people with gambling problems will find a way to gamble — they do not need the lottery. My opinion is that the lot-tery does not create problem gamblers.
It may worsen an existing problem, but it did not cre-ate the problem. So go ahead and be reasonable with your lottery dreams — it doesn’t really hurt you if you can keep it under control.
My second topic also deals with money.
Poverty in America is not sexy.
It is not even on the nation-al political radar. The Mega Millions got more publicity last week than poverty gets in one year.
In this election year, non-issues like abortion are get-ting the attention, just like every election year now.
One of the big reasons poverty is never discussed anymore is the poor’s fault: they do not vote nearly enough. No vote equals no say. The other big reason is that if the poor are never talked about, we can all pre-tend they don’t exist.
Every year since 1979, real wages have fallen below inflation. That is truly a crime in a nation this wealthy. Education has lifted millions

Political statements prove vague, cliche

If someone told you “be a good person,” how would you respond? Okay? Well, I wouldn’t know how to respond except with the question: what do you mean by “good?”
Words are deceptive. They have multiple possible mean-ings. “Good” can mean many things. Yet some of us seem to treat words as though only one definition exists.
One need only glance at any newspaper to notice the confu-sion that arises from not treat-ing words with respect for their complexity.
For example, take the new group “Young Americans for Liberty,” mentioned in last week’s paper. To them, their message seems so clear; they stand behind “freedom, liberty, individual choice.” To me, their message leaves me confused.
My befuddlement starts with
political philosopher Isaiah Berlin’s distinction between “negative” and “positive” liberty.
Let me explain. Negative lib-erty refers to “freedom from.” Positive liberty refers to “free-dom to.”
An example may help clarify the difference. Consider giv-ing someone the freedom of reading a book in Spanish. One who adheres solely to negative liberty would hand another person the Spanish book and assume that once the person has the book in her hands, she will read it.
On the other hand, one who

Subsidiarity is the principle that encourages problems to be solved at the lowest possible level competent to provide the solution.
To illustrate, if the Federal Government and a state can solve a problem, the state should do it.
If a state and a local-ity can equally tackle an issue, the default should be to the locality.
People ranging from church authorities to the Nobel prize-winning econo-mist Milton Friedman have endorsed this principle.
It makes sense. The lower level is usually the less costly alternative. In addi-tion, those responsible for the solution are closer to the voters and thus more easily held accountable.
I may feel powerless in dealing with Congress, but I am more likely to have my voice heard at my city coun-cil meeting.
Since the New Deal, how-ever, the trend has been to pursue the opposite path.
Rather than trying to solve the problems of homelessness, hunger and other assorted social ills by searching for the lowest level of competent capability, the nation has been going in the

“But taxes also help fund schools,

“ ... it was apparent that the board was
not completely satisfied with
either Alex Solis and David Neely or
Tabith Timbrook and Jon Zachrich.”
We need to figure out what we want to do before we die.
After mulling it over, I decided that my ultimate life goal is to get married and start a family.
I know this is a feat that many accomplish through-out their lives and I’ll prob-ably find myself lucky to be on the same path, but I know settling down with my hus-band and watching our kids grow seems like a pretty per-fect life to me.
Domesticating yourself not quite your thing? Good. What is? Do you want to sky-dive or go skinny dipping? Go for it.
Another question we need to start asking ourselves is “what’s holding us back?”
Unless someone else is physically pulling on your sleeve and begging you to not jump out of that airplane and parachute down, you should probably take the plunge — pun intended.
The one thing I’m certain about life is that it’s too short.
You could live a hundred years and still have a few last-minute regrets.
The solution is to know how you want your life to turn out.
If you want a family, don’t be afraid to say yes when confronted with a ring and a bended knee.
If you want to travel the world, move out of Bowling Green. It’ll still be here when you get back.
If you want to be happy, which I think is the most commendable life goal, then get happy.
Do the things you want to do and surround yourself with positive people.
There’s no day like today to start living the life you want to live. Some may claim to know, but no one can really tell you when the music ends in this dance we call life.
Start dancing.

values positive liberty would hand another person the Spanish book and make sure that the person reading the book has the ability to read Spanish. This type of “positive freedom” thus focuses on capa-bility as a prerequisite to being “free.”
Point being, “freedom” is one complex idea. Then I read in a BG News column on March 23 about a new organization spreading its “word.”
One of the leaders of the Libertarian student group is quoted, “Through your own reason and choices you lead your own life …” But what does such a statement even mean? Is “choice” not limited in some capacity to the con-text upon which a choice is made? Simply put, does an affluent, white businessman have the same “choice” as an impoverished, migrant work-er? I doubt it.
Or take a look at the follow-ing use of the word “Liberty”: a leadership representative from Columbus said he was looking for “liberty minded students …” to start Young Americans for Liberty. Oh really? “Liberty-minded.” I don’t know one person on Earth from one side of the political spectrum to the other who would call the abstraction “Liberty” a “bad” thing.
But soon, we learn what was
meant by “liberty-minded.” He states, “A lot of cam-
puses are very liberal, but I feel that’s just because libertarians haven’t gotten to them yet.”
So I guess liberals don’t like “liberty.” That’s new to me.
Or he’s assuming only one type of “liberty” exists, and he is God’s messenger (the young Libertarians as his disciples) enlightening us with the cor-rect definition.
Finally, Eric Eberly is quot-ed as saying, “Taxation by the income method is theft …” Taxes certainly fund some things we detest; for example, a large portion of money goes into attacking innocent civil-ians in other countries. But taxes also help fund schools, roads, courts, bridges, public transportation, research, hospi-tals, fire departments — I’ll just stop here. You get the picture.
All of these things help give us the capability to do many things. They give society the “freedom to” go to school, trav-el on safe roads and be healthy.
Yet to them, taxes could not support “Liberty” because they represent “theft.” Because only one type of “Liberty” seems to exist.
Or maybe, just maybe, there’s something important behind Ludwig Wittgenstein’s quote: “Uttering a word is like striking a note on the keyboard of the imagination.”

The United Way of Greater Toledo has appointed a new director in Wood County.
Nicholas Kulik, a resident of Bowling Green and an alumnus of the University, is now in charge of the United Way operations in Wood County.
While at the University, Kulik majored in jour-nalism and served as the philanthropy chairperson of Pi Kappa Phi. He also served in the AmeriCorps program, where he man-aged after-school events for Bowing Green Teen Central, according to a press release sent out by Keli Kreps, marketing manager for the United Way of Greater Toledo.
Before he became the new director, the United Way hired Kulik as a devel-opment officer, where he managed a portfolio of more than 500 accounts while he supervised United Way’s loaned exec-utive team.
His other experience includes work with the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Northwest Ohio and Push America in Charlotte, N.C.
Kulik said he is adjust-ing to the new position of director.
“I have to wear a lot of
different hats, because it’s a small office,” Kulik said. “I am the only full-time staff person right now in Wood County.”
Kulik said his roles as director will entail work-ing with other nonprofits for “community impact,” marketing work and fun-draising.
However, talking to peo-ple and getting a sense of what Wood County needs as a community is top pri-ority right now, Kulik said.
“With a small shop, we need to manage our time well and work together so that all our projects move forward,” he said. “I want to make sure nothing gets left on the back burner.”
While no official part-nerships have been made, Kulik listed some organi-zations he hopes will work
with the United Way in the future. The exchange club at the University, Kiwanis Club, Bowling Green Chamber of Commerce a nd the Northwest Ohio Association of Fundraising Professionals were organi-zations that Kulik named.
Atonn Smeltzer, admin-istrative assistant and communications and IT manager at the Bowling Green Chamber of Commerce, said he hopes the United Way will work with the Chamber of Commerce in the future.
“The United Way has a great reputation for vol-unteerism and commu-nity service, which would make them an ideal part-ner for almost any com-munity-based initiative,” Smeltzer said. “They also have access to a large
workforce of volunteers, so they could potentially bring a lot of hard-working people to help with any such event.”
Smeltzer said the Bowling Green 4th of July fireworks display and the holiday parade are two events the Chamber of Commerce and the United Way could partner on.
Theresa Kelso, who works in donor services and administration at the United Way in Wood County, said working with Kulik has been very enjoy-able.
“He brings a lot of ener-gy to the position,” Kelso said. “And a lot of enthu-siasm.”
Kelso talked about what Kulik has been doing since appointed to the director position.
“He has been spending quite a bit of time meet-ing with volunteers and community members to talk about their hopes and aspirations for the coun-ty,” Kelso said. “He is con-nected to our community and cares about what hap-pens in Wood County.”

out of poverty, but education is not the answer for many Americans. As the great, late Chicago columnist Mike Royko said, “If everyone goes to college, who cleans the toilet?”
No, the answer for lifting Americans out of poverty is to increase wages, period.
Reganomics, followed by the American Left lack-ing any guts, has led to this problem.
It is time to rectify this situation. One great step was introduced last week, but unfortunately, it has zero chance of passing in Congress.
Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa has proposed raising the minimum wage 35 per-cent over the next 30 months.
The minimum wage would then raise at the rate of inflation every year. This would be a fantastic step in a new War on Poverty.
Of course, it has no chance to become law. We in America like to believe that the poor want to be poor. That is one of the great lies in American politics.
With the American Left impotent, the poor must placate themselves with lot-
tery dreams. Our politicians have cho-
sen to ignore a complete seg-ment of our population.
The odds of winning the Mega Millions are 176 mil-lion to 1.
It seems the odds of the poor being truly represented in America is less than that.

other direction. There has been an increas-
ing reliance on Washington to solve all sorts of social problems.
This has also spawned an entrenched group with a vested personal and pro-fessional interest in keep-ing Washington the focus of funding and approval for all sorts of social policies.
It’s easy to be lulled into the pleasant complacency of letting the government do all the work.
We don’t have to deal with the difficult task of donating our time or energy to become part of the solution. Just pay our taxes and let Uncle Sam take care of it.
But, there are several prob-lems with the “let Uncle Sam do it” approach.
First, it absolves one of personal involvement and responsibility.
Second, there is no virtue in paying taxes. Paying taxes is an act of obedience, rather than one of engaged charity and concern for our fellow human beings.
Third, the higher the level of government, the greater the level of inefficiency in providing care and concern for our fellow humans.
Fourth, with reference to the Federal Government, it may well be illegal or uncon-stitutional.
The Founders saw first-hand what an unbridled central government is capa-ble of doing. So, they delib-erately institutionalized subsidiarity.
Power was delegated to the Federal Government in certain specified areas (so-called enumerated powers). Furthermore, the functions of the Federal Government were split into three different areas – Legislative, Executive and Judicial.
All power not specifically delegated to the Federal Government was reserved to the states or to the people.
With the limited excep-tion of feeding, clothing and
PHIL From Page 4
housing federal prisoners and the military, nowhere in the Constitution is the Federal Government given the specific authority to practice what are known as the corporal works of mercy, such as feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, healing the sick, etc.
And yet we know that the Federal Government is knee-deep in these areas, and not doing a very good job at it.
The amount of Federal funds spent on poverty programs could have been given directly to the poor and poverty would have been greatly reduced.
The vast sums of Federal money spent on education have not produced a more educated group of stu-dents in our high schools and colleges.
The trend of ACT and SAT scores testifies to that.
To be sure, there are areas where the Federal Government has a legiti-mate interest in, such as national defense, regula-tion of interstate commerce, printing of money, negotiat-ing with foreign nations, etc.
In addition, certain areas in which there is an overriding national inter-est and where only the Federal Government has the resources to fund it could be considered a legitimate Federal area.
The NASA program is such an example.
However, any decision in this area should take into account the Tenth Amendment: any power not delegated to the Federal Government is reserved to the states or to the people. This amendment enshrines subsidiarity.
It’s an idea well worth remembering.

BG track and field finishes seventh at the Toledo Collegiate ChallengeBy Alex Krempasky
Reporter
The BG track and field team was back in action this week-end after a week off follow-ing the UC Early Bird Relays in Cincinnati, Ohio.
It traveled to the University of Toledo to take on ath-letes from Toledo, Buffalo, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Oakland, Detroit Mercy, Hillsdale College, Siena Heights, Findlay, Concordia and Spring Arbor in the Toledo Collegiate Challenge.
Many BG athletes placed in events this weekend and were led by senior Ashley Harris, who had eight points for fifth place finish in the hammer throw and the shot put events. Harris also placed 11th in the discus.
Sophomore Anna Pomento also scored points for BG in a throwing event. She earned eighth place in the shot put and finished seventeenth in the discus event.
The Falcons did well in the high jump event. Freshman Emily Gerken finished fourth in the event and freshman Krystin Reiser finished sev-enth; seven points were won in this event alone.
BG runners also put up a good fight this weekend in Toledo.
Junior Felicia Jefferson earned two top ten finishes with a fifth place finish in the 400-meter dash and a sixth place finish in the 200-meter dash.
Sophomore Allorian Horne also finished in the top ten in two events. She finished eighth in the 200-meter dash and sixth place in the 100-meter dash. Also, freshman Natalie Sommerville finished eighth in the 100-meter hur-dles race.
Junior Allison Welmer earned a third place finish in the 400-meter dash, which ended up being the Falcons’ best finish for the day.
BG won eight points from the two relay events that they participated in on Saturday. The 4x100 relay team finished third and the 4x400 relay team placed eighth in their event.
The Falcons finished the invitational in seventh place with 42 points.
The Falcons’ will return to action this weekend as they travel to East Lansing, Mich. to compete in the Spartan Invitational.

After getting swept in its first Mid-American Conference series of the season, the BG baseball team rebounded this weekend by taking two of three games from Central Michigan.
The series improved the Falcons’ overall record to 10-17, including a 2-4 mark in conference play.
GAME ONEThe BG baseball team suffered a
4-0 shutout loss to Central Michigan at a windy Stellar Field on Friday
afternoon.The Falcons’ woes continued
on defense as they committed five errors, four of which came in the two innings where the Chippewas scored.
BG’s offense also struggled in the contest by only recording four hits and only reached third base one time on a passed ball in the ninth inning.
Despite the loss from Falcon start-ing pitcher Cody Apthorpe (0-4), he went 8 2/3 innings before taking a line drive just outside the fore-arm, forcing him to leave the game. Apthorpe gave up three runs with
only one of them being earned to go with six strikeouts.
“Cody Apthorpe did a heck of a job,” said coach Danny Schmitz. “Nick Bruns came in there in the ninth inning after Cody got hit by the line drive. The pitching was there today. But it’s just the same old bugaboo that we have had the whole year. We just have had a hard time catching the ball and making routine plays. It seems like when we make one mistake we don’t nip it in the butt.”

The BG hockey team held its end-of-season banquet this past weekend and goalie Andrew Hammond was named team MVP for the second consecutive season.
Hammond, a junior, was instru-mental in the Falcons advancing to the Central Collegiate Hockey Association semifinals for the first time since 2001. He started all 44 games for the Falcons, posting a 2.73 goals-against average and a .903 save percent. He also recorded
a career-high 14 wins.Hammond played in 2,615 min-
utes this season, over 1,000 more minutes than he played this past season. However, his goals-against average took a small hike, up from 2.67 in 2010-11, and his save percent fell, down from .903.
Hammond also won the Jim Ruehl Best Defensive Player Award for the second straight season.
Newly-named co-captain Cam Wojtala won the Dr. Ron Zwierlein Leadership Award, while Ryan Carpenter, the other co-captain for
next season, won the team’s Rookie of the Year Award and the Leading Scorer Award.
Carpenter had one of the stron-gest seasons of any BG freshman in program history. His 31 points were six more than any player on the team, and his 19 assists were five more than any other player.
Andrew Wallace won the Jack Gregory Award for scholar ath-lete, Cam Sinclair won the Coach’s Award, and Bryce Williamson was named the team’s most-improved player.

The BG tennis team emerged from the weekend gathering a conference victory and loss, improving its Mid-American Conference record to 2-1, placing them third in the standings.
Akron (17-2, 3-1 Mid-American Conference) bought a “nothing less than expected” effort to the court with its battle over BG, winning 7-0. The Zips swept the Falcons in doubles and all the way through the single flights.
Though BG did not capture a match victory, it did, however, win four games in four different sets during singles play.
Mary Hill had the closest chance to a victory, winning eight games to her opponents 12 in the fourth flight.
Nikki Chiricosta also put a val-iant effort and accomplished seven wins to her opponents 12 in two sets of work at the top flight.
Hill and Jade Johnson were the top performers in the doubles por-tion by coming up just short 8-6 in the third flight.
Chiricosta and Emily Reuland had nothing to hang their head about as the duo took five games in a total of eight to the Zips No. 1 doubles pair of Zara Harutyunyan and Prang Pantusart. Harutyunyan and Pantusart have dominated their opponents up until this point, building a 17-0 record in dual-match play this season (4-0 in the MAC).
“We competed so hard in this match and we were up in the set at times even, I’m really proud to how we handled Akron,” said coach Penny Dean.
BG’s success this weekend came over Buffalo as they attained a 4-3 defeat over the Bulls.
Chiricosta came to play by shutting down her foe 6-0, 6-1. Additional high marks in the match were seen by Hill taking down her opponent 12 games to four and Katie Grubb advancing past her foe 6-2, 6-3.
As for the doubles portion for the Falcons, they were on a roll yet again, capturing all three flights. The Buffalo match marked the third time Bowling Green has swept their opponent across the board for the doubles point.
“We were 6-0 the last two match-es in doubles and have really came on strong there,” Dean said. “I feel even though it looked like a close 4-3 match it probably could have been a lot worse for Buffalo. Mary was up 4-1 in the first set along with some other players and we seemed to really dominate them early.”
The Falcons will take on the RedHawks from Miami next Friday at 1 p.m. in Oxford. Miami is cur-rently leading in the MAC standings with a 4-0 conference record. The Falcons will then play Northern Illinois the following day in Muncie, Ind. At 1 p.m.

The BG softball team opened up Mid-American Conference play on a high note, going 3-1 in its doubleheaders against Ohio and Akron.
Junior Andrea Arney led the way for the Falcons in their first game against Ohio on Friday, going 1-for-2 with a home run and an RBI.
The Falcons started the game on top scoring two runs on the first two hits of the game, with Hannah Fulk hitting a leadoff double. Impressive base running and stealing, thanks to a fielding error, allowed the Falcons to jump to an early 2-0 lead.
The Bobcats responded with two runs of their own in the bottom of the first, but the Falcons broke the deadlock in the fifth thanks to Arney’s home run, her sixth of the sea-son. BG held out to win 4-2.
Game two of the Ohio dou-bleheader saw the Falcons fall 3-1. The Bobcats jumped early in the first, scoring two runs before adding another in the sixth. The Falcons attempted to rally in the seventh but only managed to score one run.
“The team fought hard today,” said head coach Shannon Salsburg. “It was great to come out strong in game one. Ohio is a qual-ity team. We knew they would come back strong. We had opportunities but came up just a bit short. Overall it was a strong start to our MAC con-ference games.”
The Falcons, after their Friday doubleheader, traveled to Akron to play two games against the Zips. The Falcons prevailed in both games win-ning 4-0 and 7-6.
BG started off by shutting out the Zips 4-0 behind pitcher Jamie Kertes, who allowed just four hits and recorded seven strikeouts.
The game was silent for both teams until the sixth inning when the Falcons scored three runs on three hits. Freshman Shelby Fink recorded two RBI in the inning, while Fulk added an insurance run in the seventh, completing the game.
This is the Falcons’ eighth shutout of the season.
The Falcons completed the weekend against Akron on Sunday by winning a close game, 7-6, thanks to offensive star Arney who went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and five RBI.
Like many of the games in the Falcons season, the team got in the lead early. BG scored four runs on three hits in the first inning of play. By the third inning the Falcons had accu-mulated a 6-1 lead, thanks to Paige Berger’s base running.
Akron crawled back with runs in the third and fourth to bring the lead to 6-3. However, the Zips came to life in the sixth, scoring three runs off five hits against BG’s three pitchers. The defense held up to hold the game to a Falcon victory at 7-6.
BG will be home for the first time on Wednesday with a doubleheader against Valparaiso at 3 p.m.
Early scoring helps Falcons split with Ohio, sweep Akron
Andrew Kubuski extended his hitting streak to 12 games by going 2 for 4 from the plate, making his average .402 on the season.
“He has been our most consistent hitter,” Schmitz said. “He’s staying within himself and having quality at-bats and he’s really turned into an outstanding defen-sive leftfielder.”
Earning the win for Central Michigan was Zach Cooper, who is now 2-2 on the season. He threw all nine innings, fanning eight batters and gave up four hits and two walks.
GAME TWOAfter scoring a total of nine
runs in the previous five games combined, the Falcons scored nine in the first two innings and defeated Central Michigan 12-8 on Saturday at Steller Field.
Solid hitting and slop-py defensive play by the Chippewas helped the Falcons earn their first win in MAC play. Left-fielder Andrew Kubuski led the way with two hits and four RBI and extended his hitting streak to
13 games.“That first inning was huge
for us,” Schmitz said. “I guess it was a combination of us having quality at-bats and hit-ting the ball but also taking advantage of their mistakes. They made a couple errors in that inning, and teams have been doing that against us because we’ve made our share of errors.”
Central Michigan starting pitcher Rick Dodridge gave up 10 runs in his four innings pitched, but only three of them were earned.
“The key is to keep tacking on runs,” Schmitz said. “If you do make mistakes, they don’t stick out as much, especially on the defensive side.”
The Chippewas scored five runs in the seventh inning to add a little drama, but would come no closer. Ben Singer got the win for the Falcons to improve his record to 2-2 and Nick Bruns recorded his fourth save of the season.
GAME THREEThe BG baseball team
changed the record books Sunday afternoon at Stellar Field by knocking off the Central Michigan Chippewas 5-4 in 15 innings.
The Falcons’ long earned

victory tied the longest game in BG history, with the contest against the Toledo Rockets on April 29, 1961.
While it took six BG pitch-ers, a few miscues bunting and more than four hours of play, BG was able to grind out a victory and take two of three from the Chippewas in the series.
“That was a great college baseball game and I thought both teams played their hearts out,” Schmitz said. “I’m very proud of our guys and they really battled. It was one of those days where what we call the three phases: the pitching, the defense and the hitting came and it was good to see.”
The BG offense was on fire early, mainly due to a three-run homer by Logan Walker over the left-field wall in the third inning. That blast gave BG a 4-0 lead and forced Central Michigan pitcher Ryan Longstreth to leave the mound.
Andrew Lacinak started the game for BG and held Central Michigan scoreless through five frames on just two hits,
but left the game due to tight-ness in his right forearm.
The tides turned in Central Michigan’s favor as the Chippewas put up three runs in the sixth inning against BG pitcher Jason Link. Central Michigan tied the game in the seventh on a William Arnold single.
A pitcher’s duel then emerged for eight more innings between Matt Malewitz of BG and Dietrich Enns of Central Michigan. BG finally broke through on a Patrick Lancaster single, where Walker sprinted from second base, rounded third and dove in headfirst across home plate to greet an electric BG baseball squad.
“The pitchers kept us in it,” Walker said. “We played tough defense and no one quit. That has been something that has been questioned all year and that we couldn’t close out a game. I think we answered those questions today.”
BG returns to the dia-mond to face Defiance College at Stellar Field on Wednesday. Game time is set for 3 p.m.

The audience that filled the Student Recreation Center screamed and clapped while chant-ing, “Buried Life! Buried Life!” as the cast of “The Buried Life” ran on stage.
The four men, Ben Nemtin, Dave Lingwood, and Duncan and Jonnie Penn, were brought to the University by the Universit y Activ it ies Organization and Dance Marathon.
They wanted to invite the cast members to talk about their journey with their show.
The event was open to everyone, and attend-ees included University students, faculty, high schoolers and people in the community.
“We heard about the fun-draiser and we thought it was an excellent idea and we like to dance,” Ben said.
Their lecture on how The Buried Life became a real-ity lasted about an hour and a half.
Jonnie said while he was in high school, he had to write a paper on a poem called “The Buried Life.”
The poem touched on topics such as the self, indi-viduality, life and the soul.
“We were all going through different things at the same time,” Duncan said. “Ben was strug-gling with depression, Jonnie was kind of mad
at our generation, Dave was overweight and also depressed and I just lost a friend that affected me very deeply. We got to talk-ing and we all wanted to do something big.”
At this time, the mem-bers had a clarity and a strong feeling they could do anything and out of that came the beginning of their bucket list.
“We like to try and tell the behind the scenes story because a lot of people think that The Buried Life started off as a TV show and the actual fact is that it started a long time before the show,” Duncan said. “The show is just number 53 on the list and the list has always been about going after the things you truly want in your life.”
The cast showed some unedited clips that will air on its next season of the show.
One clip was Jonnie pranking his brother, Duncan, into thinking he got arrested before throw-ing a surprise birthday party for him. Another clip was the cast playing bas-ketball on the White House courts with President Obama.
The entire cast continu-ously told the audience they can do anything they want.
During the last half of their presentation, the cast sent around microphones in the audience to hear what others want to do before they die.
The answers ranged from working with orphans in other countries to being a Disney princess.
Sophomore Sa ra h Martinelli had a sign made from SIC SIC asking Duncan for a kiss.
Once Duncan saw the sign, he agreed and pulled Martinelli on stage and kissed her.
“This is really happen-ing,” she said.
The cast also let a stu-dent whose dream is to sing at the Madison Square Garden some day, sing for everyone.
The cast’s goal by the end of their lecture was to make everyone believe they can do anything they want, Duncan said.“Today is the youngest you’ll ever be,” Duncan said.
After the lecture, there was a meet-and-greet including autographs and photos with the cast.

The Greek Housing Team continues on to the next phase of its project to pur-chase property and deter-mine what types of houses to build. For this the team is receiving feedback from sororities and fraternities.
“We are still in the pro-cess of deciding which land we want to purchase,” said Chris Bullins, asso-ciate dean of students. “We are looking at land that is directly off of cam-pus that is surrounding, such as Thurstin Street, Wooster Street, Poe Road and Mercer Road.”
Bullins said right now they are doing a “massing in density study,” through which they take different options on campus and survey them, but this also depends on what type of building will be there.
“Wednesday, March 28, I will be pulling local alumni and the chapter presidents of sororities and fraternities to dis-cuss what their type of building preferences are in order to get feedback in order to begin planning,” Bullins said.
Bullins broke down each sorority and fraternity into five different categories: very large, large, medium,
small and very small. Based on chapter size,
each is placed into one of the categories.
“We look at the chart and average the size based off of the past six semes-ters,” he said. “Then we can place them more pre-cisely.”
Bullins and his team needed advice about dif-ferent types of buildings. In order to do this, they visited different schools in the south that had rela-tively new structures.
“We were told not to overbuild,” Bullins said. “It all comes down to the size of each chapter to determine which type of building they should be in.”
The types of build-ings the chapters have to choose from are town-houses, residential and the standard houses.
Bullins will go over the types of buildings and let each fraternity and soror-ity know which category it fits into. He said he will then help each sorority and fraternity determine what type of housing they like, and what types they don’t like.
“Their feedback will help us narrow our deci-sions and help us move on to the next step — figur-ing out the cost,” Bullins said. “Once we figure out
the cost, we will then meet with the chapter presi-dents again and let them know if their choice is a go or not due to how much it will cost for the type of building they want.”
Overall, the new Greek units will eventually be more beneficial, said Steven Krakoff, vice presi-dent of Capital Planning and Design.
“The situation with Greek housing has reached a point where replacing these buildings will benefit us in the long run opposed to renovat-ing them every few years,” Krakoff said.
Both Krakoff and Sarah Waters, director of Residence Life, agree that replacing the buildings is a better option for the University.
“It’s time to move for-ward with this project,” Waters said.
Bullins is hoping to keep this project on schedule.
“If schedule follows when we meet with the [Board of Trustees] in June, and in fall we receive the green light, our next step will be to execute and get an architect to start planning,” he said. “So fall of 2014 or spring we could see them opening.”

BG Transit, the city’s pub-lic transportation agency, has changed regulations to accommodate disabled passengers and seeks to increase awareness of its services.
B G Tr a n s i t ’s Transportation Advisory Com m it tee ( TAC ) changed its regulation for wheelchairs on Feb. 21 in compliance with the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Transit Administration.
As a minimum require-ment, BG Transit now transports wheelchairs 51-by-33 inches and weigh-ing at least 600 pounds. BG Transit has six vans that transport wheelchairs by using ramps for loading. It also has one converted van with a motorized lift that accommodates larger wheelchairs suited for up to 800 pounds.
P re v iou sl y, t he D e p a r t m e n t o f Transportation required all local transit systems
to accommodate “com-mon wheelchairs,” which are those 48-by-30 inches and weighing at least 600 pounds. The DOT abol-ished the term, requiring all local transits to define their own wheelchair accommodations.
An official from the FTA said changes like the new wheelchair regulation don’t occur that often: this was the third change since 1991.
Funding for the cur-rent changes came in part through the City of Bowling Green, the Community Development Block Grant and grants from the Ohio Department of Transportation and the FTA, according to a press release from the City of Bowling Green at the end of February.
Along with keeping up with federal regulations, BG Transit is also working to gain a stronger presence in the city by promoting its services.
Tina Bradley, the grants administrator for the City of Bowling Green, is a member of BG Transit’s advisory committee and
she said the city wants more people to know about BG Transit.
“The real story is a lot of people don’t know there is a transit in town and that it’s open to everyone,” Bradley said.
BG Transit started its operations in 1988. It deliv-ered over 36,000 trips this past year and citizens who are at least 65 years old or disabled made up 82 per-cent of those rides, Bradley said.
Bradley also talked about what BG Transit offers for University students and faculty.
“A lot of students may not realize they can take BG Transit everywhere local-ly they want to go — for example Walmart, down-town or the Woodland Mall,” Bradley said.
Also, the transit is a bet-ter alternative if a student or faculty member doesn’t want to bother with park-ing, Bradley said.
BG Transit has also pro-vided transportation in cases where injuries have occurred or when some-one’s car had broken down,
she said.Bradley also said BG
Transit has tried to gain awareness of its services in the city.
The transit publishes quarterly press releases to the public, and it has adver-tisements in The BG News and The Sentinel-Tribune, on WBGU radio and on Time Warner Cable public service announcements, Bradley said.
The transit also spon-sors community events where its logo is displayed on banners that are hung, she said.
Bradley also said bro-chures are available to the University community in the Union.
Daniel Gordon, the student representative on Bowling Green City Council, is also a member of BG Transit’s advisory committee.
He said he hasn’t yet rid-den with BG Transit.
“I wasn’t informed about BG Transit until a staff member told me about it outside of a meeting. I’m very interested in using it in the future,” Gordon
said.If Gordon did use BG
Transit, he said he would use it to go off-campus to city council meetings or to a restaurant that is too far away for a walk.
“I don’t drive much up here,” he said. “Some plac-es are just too far away. So, in some cases it’s very useful.”
Gordon also said that he’s trying to help the transit gain more awareness.
“I’m interested in inform-ing BGSU students about BG Transit. I’m working to get them and city resi-dents to know about it and know that they can use it,” Gordon said.
Gordon also said BG Transit has a Facebook page, and there are links on the city’s website for public transportation.
Bradley said BG Transit is a little different than other public transporta-tion in the city, such as the University bus service or the shuttles that drive stu-dents back and forth from their apartments. She said the two “are like compar-ing apples to oranges.”
BG Transit accommodates larger wheelchairs, promotes services to public
University looks for location, feedback on types of new Greek housing for publicity and technol-
ogy.“Our goal is cheering the
kids up, raise money for medical care and do a lot of things to get that smile on their face,” Schmid said. “The impact we can have is huge. In the last 17 years we have raised a total of $2.5 million.”
The money goes to chil-dren with illnesses and disabilities in need of care. Many are present at the event and are known as Miracle Children. They cheer on the dancers, who cheer back and celebrate helping others.
The event had more than 300 student danc-ers on their feet, said Alexis Groover, Alumni Relation Chair for Dance Marathon. The dancers include Greek Houses and student organizations.
The BG Dance Marathon was one of the founding five schools to have such an event, and 17 years later the number of schools that participate nationwide is
more than 200, according to the press release. Even high schools and cities are beginning to host similar events.
All the people present made the whole experi-ence even more powerful and inspiring, Groover said.
“It has changed my life completely,” Groover said. “Before DM I feel like I was a more selfish person, focused on what I can do for me. I realized life is short. There are people who are suffering and sick every day. I am so blessed, how can I give back?”
One of the most touch-ing moments of the entire event is the arrival of the bikers, she said.
The Bike for Tikes occurs alongside Dance Marathon. The partici-pates raise money and take part in a 180-mile bike ride from Cincinnati back to Bowling Green, ending with them run-ning in and joining DM, Groover said.
“By the time the bikers arrive, we’ve been here for 30 hours already,” she said. “You forget that there
are 130 other people try-ing to help the same cause you are. You’re all in the same place and all there for the same purpose: for the kids. When they come running in, it is the coolest thing on earth.”
The bikers themselves raised more than $81,000 of the total amount, pass-ing their goal of $75,000, as was announced at the event.
While the impact of the event will be felt by many, the event itself was to bring fun to the students and continue to build the community, Groover said.
The closing ceremonies of the event brought tears to people’s eyes and led many friends and strang-ers alike together. The students had stood on their feet for 32 straight hours, but they didn’t for-get why they were there. The cheer of “For the Kids” continued to be shouted throughout the activities.
“[The standing] wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be,” Tuckrin said. “I might start to fall asleep then I’d wake up and say ‘it’s for the kids.’”
